CONCERNING JEALOUSY.
A Paris professor comes forth with
the startling declaration that jealousy
!.
is merely a disease, as are measles,;
i .u i.: tm,.. ,-;..,- I
i uai'uiii ui nit; imo. i iij uuiui:
if based on fact, will mean a;
cry,
revolution in almost every profes
sion and walk of life. The Paris
professor gave forth no specifics,
confining himself to the simple diag
nosis. No doubt we shall have a nrc-
srriptioa fcr the affliction later. Aml'th? newspapers from all parts of the
even we cf this generation may hope; untry is sufficient to demonstrate

out of the ring with an
incurable:
!
black eye
We are not especially
surprised that jealousy should have
been found to be due to some germ
or other. Have not most of the
mysteriously terrible maladies been
corralled by the scientists, shorn of
their mysticism and made subject to
the will of the pill roller? Why not
jealousy?
It was only recently that a tower
in " scientist declared love to be a
disease capable of effective treat
ment. This discovery startjed some,
but not those who have abiding faith
in the miracle working powers oft
modern day science. True, that in
tangible something which makes
couples say silly things, act strange
ly; which finds expression in slushy
cooings and the like, and which ul
timately ends in matrimony in other
words love has not yet been brought
under the scientist's control, but
just you wait and see. Sooner or
later when John wishes rest at
night but can't fcr pictures of Mary;
wants to forget but does nothing but
remember, he will be able to tell
the pharmacist his trouble, and a
pink pill will divest his soul of the
subtle spell.
And if love is a disease, why is
not jealousy, which is merely one of
the symptoms of love, also a dis
ease? Then, too, on the highest of au-
thority we have been told that poet -
ry another auxiliary of love, is
wise a disease. This discovery has(Whether due to the threatened panic

where treatment is possible, but
i. ,1 1 I t i 4 l . 4- n i- n n-.
one of these fine days some scien
tist will come forth with some pill,
herb or fluid capable of putting eith
er an eternal quietus on love, poetry
and jealousy, or with equal ease, turn
on the hose intil the patient is
chock full of whichever of the three
diseases he desires.
We have indeed something to live
for, with such discoveries likely at
any moment to pass from their incipient-
into the outburst of happy
realization. What a happy world this
will be even when poetry is made
subject to the physician's power.
Sand brained youths who. conceive
themselves subject to. visitations
" from the Divine Goddess with a re
sult that they are unable to keep
concealed their soul's effervescences,
will simply pay the apothecary a
visit, and the trick will be turned.
Or, the prosaic speaker, exhorter,
writer, or stump spouter, desirous of
touching up his cold message with
the maionaisse of poesy, but finds
himself helpless, will simply tell his
troubles to the doctor. A prescrip
tion will be forthcoming, and one
draught from the vial labelled poet
ry wil start the poetic fires to con
suming his callous soul.
Yes, what a happy world would
this be if love and poetry once were
made subject to the doctor's power.
And if indeed these two attributes
of the soul are to be divested of
the mystery surrounding them and
brought under control of the drug
mixer, why not jealousy? We re
peat, why? You can't answer, for
you know it's coming. Then on the
threshold of this happy realization,
stop you and imagine what a changed
world tnis will be when black jeal
ous,, loses its force. The star will
feel the chains of her, soul unlocked,
and under the spell of the jealousy
powder, she will give the soubrette a
chance to display her talents. The
manager may need a drug to bring
him to when this generosity is
shown, but he can get it. The nier-.not

love. Jealous husbands will no lon
ger do handsprings amongst the
china, or chuck the furniture through
the window panes when wifiie speaks
to an old acquaintance.
But we are out of broth. Finish

trouble Some contend, for instance
that hostile legislation in the southern
states precipitated the fall which has
been imminent all along for years
while others deny that recent legisla
tion has had aught to do in hastening
a failure that must have come sooner
or later. However, on one point, all
seem agreed, namely that the failure
was not a particular surprise. Those
who have been familiar with the statue
of this road for several years past
have expected such a termination ot
the difficulty under which it has labor
ed. The Seaboard has been loaded up
with unproductive property; it has
spent large sums in extensions and im
provements, and these facts taken m
to consideration with the issuance with
in the past twelve months of $13,000,-
000 of securities, carrying their load J
of interest, and the long drawn out con
flict between the minority and majori
ty interests of the road, probably unit
ed in bringing to a head a situation
that must have come sooner or later.
It may be that the attitude of certain
legislation has hastened the inevitable.
And still, the receivership may have
been a deep-laid scheme, as many sug
gest, on the part of the Ryan interests
to bring about a condition that would
permit the purchase of stock for a
song, having in view a re-or-
ganization and rehabilitation of the en
ltire system. Be the causes what they
like-Jmay the worst came to the worst.
hostile legislation, the scheming
oi
manipulators, or what not.
After all, the receivership may re
sult in far-reaching good to the public,
for it is not unlikely that the road win
be re-organized and placed in hands
capable of putting up the capital which
has been needed so long for improve
ment, "etc. The receivership process
does not mean the disintegration it
once did. The Baltimore and Ohio's
wonderful development in the hands
cf an able and vigorous receivership
is an excellent example of what may
be the case with the Seaboard. In the
meantime receivers of recognized abili
ty in matters entailing the handling ol
large funds 'and large interests have
been appointed and stockholders are
urged to remain calm and await the
favorable developments that are con
fidently expected.
The Washington Post remarks:
"Santa Claus may look like an easy
mark, but he generally knows when
the small boy tries to work off one oi
his big sister's stockings on him."
The "small boy" would never blun
der like that. If he couldn't get one
of his sister's big stockings he would
go a-searching elsewhere, but; not
necessarily after "big sister's ' stock
ings." There is a difference between
six dozen dozen and a half-dozen doz-5

An Oklahoma dispatch say's: "Twenty-three
hundred barrels of beer, val
ued at $14,500, belonging to the new'
State Brewry of Oklahoma City, was
poured into the sewers of that city by
United States Internal Revenue Col
lector Howard. The state authorities
would not permit its sale and ship
ment from the state." After , this
sweeping clean-up even the voice from
the manhole is saying, "never again."
